An insight into man`s growth; a fresh colour and vividness of language; a quickened understanding of words themselves: these are some of the basics of a look into word origins. The present dictionary opens such a vista. Of this great collection of words, the author has set down those that have origins at once interesting and enlightening ISBN - 9788170494621
